You stated...
“It is very significant here that Job is an intercessor,in spite of foolish Protestant claims that there can be no intercessor but Christ.”

Sorry holds no water...Job is Old test. Christ had not even been born yet to intercede. Gesh!

Once Christ came as the last and great high priestly king there is no need to send our prayers to any other than Christ. He completely fulfills the Priestly office.

Further non-catholics do indeed intercede in prayer for their friends and family and others . You statement is misleading and deceptive.

Since the story of Job is somewhat metaphoric, it is interpreted to be the precursor of the story of Christ.

I thought that Protestants claim that the only intercessor is Christ. Was I wrong?

The reply was to Blue-duncan's post #2296: "How do you interpret Job 2:5-7, “But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life. So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.”" which was bd's response to post #2279 What a fabulous repudiation of Christianity. "Satan is a tool of God". This is certain a reasonable illustration of the evil of Calvinism and of its satanic origins. This belief removes all responsibility of satan for his own actions from him, and also for all those who follow him. To believe this would require removal of what, 90-95% of all Scriptural verse, and nearly all Gospel verse altogether. How can you guys call yourself Christians if you believe that God uses Satan as a tool? which in turn was a response to post #2056 by RnMomof7: Satan is a tool in the hand of God..he can not act without the permission of God...read your bible

So, blue-duncan referenced OT to talk about whether God commands Satan as per Calvinistic beliefs. So, the reference to the OT was for Calvinist beliefs, hence Mark can, by rules of debate, also use OT as an example.

SEcondly, the point is about an intercessor to pray for you to God. God tells Job's friends that they must ask JOB to pray for them to God (i.e. they need him in addition to praying to God directly).
